Ancient Greek
Etymology
The origin is Pre-Greek. Folk-etymologically explained as πελλός (pellós, “dark”) + ἀργός (argós, “white”). Has been linked with Old Armenian արագիլ (aragil).
Witczak (1991) suggests that the word is a compound, with second term continuing otherwise unattested *ἁργός (*hargós), from Proto-Indo-European *sr̥ǵos (“stork”), akin e.g. to Proto-Germanic *sturkaz (“stork”).
